A new Digital Camera, Re working Broadband

I bought a new digital camera. A canon. My third one. A canon followed by a sony followed by a canon. And in pre historic times an analog one. Why so many? I lost my first 2 digital cameras. Stolen. Due to negligence. I even lost a pock pc phone in past 1 month. 3 lost gadgets. I am condemned to digital hell.
I am aware of auto focus, exposure, wide shot, optical zoom, grain, ...and all those terms. But I didn't got for an SLR, ....I know my limitations. the main (and probably sole) purpose of camera is to take pcitures of my cute kids. Believe me, I too was cute. "Was" is the word.
I hope they will remain cute all the time.
My 4 day old broadband worked for 50% of time. :)
I really have stories to tell you people. But I am not out of woods yet. So give me some time. And I will tell you some interesting stuff.
Oh, BTW, my new camera is canon A530, petty consumer model. Which made me poorer by 15000 rs.
